There is Hope Through Music for the people of Japan.
There is Hope though Music for a devastated land.
So let’s sing together A song for charity; Helping our friends who are in need.
Like the rising sun that shines each day, We can rise and make a brighter way.
This beautiful song was composed by Robert Van Horne who joined "Stand for New Japan" project back in March 2011. We have several versions of this piece now.
Thank you for Mr. Shigeo Tachibana for contributing a performance of Sakuhachi Version.
We would like to pray so that all those who were affected by the tsunami and earthquake on March 11, 2011 find peace and hope in their lives soon.
